Wilsthorpe Tavern, Nottingham

Busy community pub with a two-room layout, and although the 'L'-shaped main bar looks initially as if it was originally two separate rooms it may have been built that way. The other bar has a much smaller counter but houses the pool table. Tidy, semi-traditional furniture throughout and fairly plain decor. Pizza menu available. Two of four handpumps in operation, with Caledonian Golden XPA (£3.50) and Pedigree on offer. Good early-evening atmosphere.
